UPol DOLPHIN GLAZE PUTTY

Product Information

If you pull the metal out as much as possible, use a body filler, and then glaze it’ll last forever. Try not to apply as much pressure to the spreader when applying the glaze, otherwise, you’ll still be left with low spots.

Instead of plastering body filler over minor door dings or a repair that you’ve metal finished, use glaze. If you apply it properly, it’ll have enough build to cover any low spots and will let you finish a repair with 1 skim. Mixing dolphin glaze into other fillers will help to thin out the filler and make it easier to spread. I’m most familiar with Dolphin glaze and use it all the time, that’s why I recommend that over any other. U-Pol Dolphin Glaze This is huge for minor dent repairs and other auto body imperfections, meaning that a repair can be finished and into the paint shop in minutes.

Again, clean the panel after with a degreaser to remove the dust, dirt and debris before filling. The last thing you want is dirt in your filler, this is what leads to defects such as pinholes. Application METAL GLAZE is a two-part polyester finishing and blending putty. Just like dolphin it can be mixed in with other body fillers to offer flexibility and completely change the products you’re working with. For the initial rub it’s recommended that you use 180 paper before finishing off with 240. This is more than enough if you’ve done a light skim to fix imperfections. One of the major benefits of products such as dolphin glaze is the fact that it can be applied over paint. It’s even recommended by U-Pol themselves!

However, if you’re using it for decent size fills and mixing it with everything, you’ll go through a lot of it.

Dolphin Glaze

It’s a 2 part system where you mix the glaze with a hardener normally 100 parts glaze & 2 parts hardener. It’s recommended to use 2% hardener with this glaze. Evercoat recommends adding a “ribbon” of hardener from edge to edge, as this works out to roughly 2%. Gone are the days of localized putty repairs. If you want the best finish, finish your repair with a skim of glaze. Apply a thin coat of glaze to your repair using a reasonable amount of pressure on the spreader. This will force it into any scratches and pinholes that are left in your repair. The technical data sheet for dolphin says that you should sand bare steel with P80 paper before applying glaze.

After you’ve sanded the area, U-Pol suggests using a degreaser to clean the panel. I can tell you from experience that using air to blow dust and debris from the panel also works. Application Finally, it’s pretty common for technicians to mix glaze with body filler. Doing this will make a deep-filling Bondo thinner and much easier to apply. If you’re applying it to anything else, all you need to do is key the surface with P180 paper before applying.

After filling and rubbing body filler, you may have various imperfections left. These can range from pinholes, scratches, and even paint edges. To prep the panel ready to accept glaze, all you need to do is rub it with paper between 80 – 180 grit. It’s up to you whether you want to remove the paint completely or apply the glaze over scuffed paint. Dolphin glaze is “pinhole resistant” and will help to fill any pinholes and minor scratches before sending it to paint. Dolphin Glaze is a premium finishing glaze that’s designed to eliminate pinholes and other surface imperfections prior to painting. Nowadays, glaze is used similarly to body filler and even in place of body filler. While they’re both technically body fillers, they do have different uses.
